Dave Matthews Lyrics - Some Devil

Dodo
Once upon a time When the world was just a pancake Fears would arise That if you went too far, you'd fall But with the Passage of time It all became more of a ball We're as sure of that As we all once were when the world was flat So I wonder this As life billows smoke inside my head This little game Where nothing is sure Why would you play by the rules? Who did, you did, you Who did, you did, you When was it killed The very last dodo bird And was she aware She was the very last one So I wonder this As life billows smoke inside my head This little game When I think it should Why would play by the rules? Who did, you did, you Who did, you did, you You say who did, you did, you If all the things that you are saying now Were true enough but still what was I worrying around We can work it out We can work it out Oh I wonder this As life billows smoke inside my head This little game When I think it should Why would you play that rules? Who did, you did, you Who did, you did, you You say who did, you did, you

So Damn Lucky
Everything's different My head in the clouds I hit this corner With my foot on the gass I started sliding, I lose it Everything's different just like that Oh my God, wait and see What will soon become of me? Frozen heart Screaming wheels Does that screaming come from me? So damn lucky, when went on ahead You say, you say I see you later I heard what you said a few minutes later I'm sliding Everything's different, again Oh my God, wait and see What will soon become of me? This frozen heart Screaming wheels But does that screaming come from me? I'm dizzy from all this spinning Now I'm thinking that you did all you could When you said my love Take it slowly OK, is what I said Oh my God, wait and see What will soon become of me? Frozen heart Screaming wheels But does that screaming come from me? Take me back, just before I was spinning Take me back, just before I got dizzy Take me back, amazing what a minute can do Just like you So, so, so, so, up, around, around, around Amazing what a minute can do Around, around, around OK.

Gravedigger
Cyrus Jones, 1810 to 1913 Made his great granchildren believe You could live to a hundred and three A hundred and three is forever when you're just a little kid So Cyrus Jones lived forever Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger Muriel Stonewall, 1903 to 1954 She lost both of her babies in the second great war Now you should never have to watch Your only children lowered in the ground I mean, you should never have to bury your own babies Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger Ring around the rosey Pocket full of posey Ashes to ashes We all fall down Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger Little Mikey Carson, 67 to 75 He rode his Bike like the devil until the day he died When he grows up he wants to be Mr. Vertigo on the flying trapeze Oh, 1940 to 1992 Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Gravedigger When you dig my grave Could you make it shallow So that I can feel the rain Feel the rain I can feel the rain Gravedigger Gravedigger

Some Devil
One last kiss one only Then I'll let you go Hard for you I've fallen But you can't break my fall I'm broken don't break me When I hit the ground Some devil some angel Has got me to the bones You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Is such a long and lonely time Too drunk and still drinking It's just the way I feel It's alright Is what you told me Cause what we had was so beautiful Feel heavy like floating At the bottom of the sea You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Is such a long and lonely time Some devil is stuck inside of me I cannot set it free I wish, I wish I was dead and you breathing Just so that you could know Some angel is stuck inside of me But I cannot set you free You said always and forever Now I believe you baby You said always and forever Such a long and lonely time

Grey Blue Eyes
I feel for the light Your glory was lost that night And no mind can't get me right And now I'm praying that you'll find me out Stone, stone has pulled me down But my faith has got me bound to your grey blue eyes Oh, oh Oh, oh Don't forget my broken heart You remember it from the start You made it and it's all a part Of your grey blue eyes Oh, oh Oh, oh You're gone and I know I'm dead I've lost my way Can't find me in your grey blue eyes Grey blue eyes Grey blue eyes Grey blue eyes

Trouble
Trouble Don't you see That in your bed I find no sleep I confess you came because of me Trouble get behind me now Trouble let me be Cold wet stone Deep river bed Once so clean and clear now runs red You know to well Was me that called you here Trouble get behind me now Trouble let me be Oh sweet day Leave me behind I will never call on you Until the day I die Pray your mercy shine on me Pray your mercy shine Here I stand Head bowed for thee My empty heart begs you Leave me be But I confess You know too well That I have fallen Pray your mercy give to me Pray your mercy shine Trouble, I'll not trouble thee Let your mercy shine Cold wet stone River deep and red Your cold heart beats inside my head You know too well It was me that brought you here Oh, trouble get behind me now Trouble let me be I pray your mercy shine on me Trouble let me be

Save Me
Driving through the desert I met a man Who told me of his crazy plan He'd been walking there for 20 days He was going to walk on For 20 more I said "How about a drink or a bite to eat?" He said "No, my faith is all I need" So then, save me Save me mister walking man If you can You don't need to prove a thing to me Just give me faith, make me believe Come on, save me Save me, mister walking man If you can Come on, save me Save me, mister stranger If you please save me Save me Stranger, if you please Or am I too far gone I see to get back home To get back home How about you take a ride with me We could kill some time, shoot the breeze He said, "every whispering wind and second counts" Oh, maybe if you walk, but you should drive around Save me Save me Mister walking man, if you can Come on, save me, save me Mister stranger, if you please Save me, save me Stranger, if you please Or am I too far gone To get back home To get back home I don't need you to stall for some time, no I don't need you to turn water into wine, no I don't need you to, to fly I'm just asking you to save me (You might try savin' yourself) I'm gonna save me (You might try savin' yourself) I swear those lips shine (You might try savin' yourself) As it, the moon, the moon it shines (You might try savin' yourself) Why don't you, save me (You might try savin' yourself) Come on and save me (You might try savin' yourself)

Stay or Leave
Maybe different but remember Winters warm there you and I Kissing whiskey by the fire With the snow outside And the summer comes The river swims at midnight shiver cold Touch the bottom you and I With muddy toes Stay or leave I want you not to go but you should It was good as good goes Stay or leave I want you not to go but you did Wake up naked drinking coffee Making plans to change the world While the world is changing us It was good good love You used to laugh under the covers Maybe not so often now The way I used to laugh with you Was loud and hard Stay or leave I want you not to go but you should It was good as good goes Stay or leave I want you not to go but you did So what to do With the rest of the day's afternoon hey Isn't it strange how we change Everything we did Did I do all that I should That I coulda done Remember we used to dance And everyone wanted to be You and me I want to be too What day is this Besides the day you left me What day is this Besides the day you went So what to do With the rest of the day's afternoon hey Well isn't it strange how we change Everything we did Did I do all that I could Remember we used to dance And everyone wanted to be You and me, I want to be too What day is this Besides the day you went babe What day is this?

An' Another Thing
Rain for me on you but call me It's my broken heart just where you leave me The way I see you Rain on my head Rain on my head Wonder would you Stay a minute just to hear the way you look Sweet and tender would you go out again Rain on my head Wouldn't you Rain on my head Someone take off Rain Wonder would you I met a girl recently All of a sudden, all of a suddenly nobody All of a sudden, all of a suddenly nobody Rain Oh, rain on my head Wonder would I Days Minutes minutes days How you and I Rain Don't you look at me Don't you look at me Rain on my head Rain on my head

Oh
The world is blowing up The world is caving in The world has lost her way again But you are here with me But you are here with me Makes it OK I hear you still talk to me As if you're sitting in that dusty chair Makes the hours easier to bear I know despite the years alone I'll always listen to you sing your sweet song And if it's all the same to you I love you oh so well Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow I love you oh so well Enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell Love you oh so well And it's cold and darkness falls It's as if you're in the next room so alive I could swear I hear you singing to me I love you oh so well Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow I love you oh so well Enough to fill up heaven, overflow, and fill hell Love you oh so well The world is blowing up The world is caving in The world has lost her way again But you are here with me But you are here with me Makes it OK Oh girl you are singing to me still Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow I love you oh so well Enough to fill up heaven overflow and fill hell Love you oh so well

Baby
Baby, it's all right Stop your crying Now Nothing is here to stay Everything has to begin and end A ship in a bottle won't sail All we can do is dream that the wind will blow us across the water A ship in a bottle set sail Baby, it's al lright Stop your crying, now There was a weakling man Who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane A ship in a bottle set sail He took a deep breath and blew across the world He watched everything crumble Woke up a weakling again Some might tell you there's no hope in hand Just because they feel hopeless But you don't have to be a thing like that You be a ship in a bottle set sail Baby, it's all right Stop your crying, now It's all right So stop your crying, now Be a ship in a bottle set sail

Up and Away
Everyday, everyday with you Every little thing you do the way you do Little darlin', in your eyes Got me all up and away You get me high I saw you there since then everyday It's like I'm lost and thinking of you in every way Since I fell into your eyes All I know is that you get me high You get me high Like I'm dy-oooowhhoooo Up and away You take me baby Oh, you take me baby And then you walk the way you walk You blow my mind to know the way you walk in my way Then I fall into your eyes Up up and away the way your eyes Oh, baby The way you make me high Before you came you know I didn't care It's just a game I play All up and away, I All up and away You take me baby All for you I give it all 'Cause when I'm thinking of you When I'm flying above the world How I wish I was drowning in you I must admit that I'm oh so in love you know Please don't ever let me go You've done nothing to me, but up, up and away you go All up and away Ahh, you take me baby Yeah Mmmmm baby Awwww baby

Too High
Your bones are brittle Inside you Wrapped so soft your blood Is running, I'll be there If you're moving slowly We still get there I'll be there Such a strong desire Hunger All you need to hope you keep your head, yeah The slow hand quickens What you've done with all those Around you Hopeful always that someone Will come and save you but I'll be there To watch you sulk, returning Seething I'll be there Minutes hold onto hours Gets you twisting All you need to hope you keep your head, yeah The slow hand quickens How'd you leave it with the love you lost? You made them crawl to be without you The slow hand quickens Yeah sand is empty In the hourglass I'll be there To turn it over and over In your head So you keep the hope you get your day, yeah The slow hand's quicker You seem too hard to break Too cold to burn Afraid your chance is gone Your wires are crossed Your mouth is lost You fear you left it far too long The minutes passed The hours are gone So hard to find your way alone The slow hand's quicker, yeah The slow hand's quicker The slow hand's quicker I... Your slow hand's quicker
